Okay, so village politics of a town of 128 people in the Nebraska panhandle probably aren't Earth-shattering.First, last December, in a five-way special election I threw my hat into, I won a seat on…Continue

Boy howdy. (link to cartoon at bottom)I just learned something interesting about the backstory of the cartoon show Shezow (as it relates to Hub Network, which premiered on Hub TV June 1).I spoke to…Continue

"Sounds like this was all handled professionally. Good politics as well.
I'd sure be interested in any atheistic shenanigans that unfold in the garage where the mechanic works. Let him know he's welcome to report here."

"His interest in science wasn't the problem, it was that he was 'shot-gunning' too many fairs. It's not unreasonable to have rules in place to keep it fair for everyone.

"It's interesting that you can achieve nuclear fusion in a garage ... I had thought nuclear fusion required extreme conditions, just as the interior of the sun is extreme.

"Here's how it works: It's a fusion reactor. So far it uses more energy than it creates.
Two vacuum pumps suck air out of the central chamber, leaving a near-total vacuum. Loose atoms in here interfere with fusion and lower…"

I had some trepidation in displaying my "Science, Reason, and Secular Values" poster, plus "atheist" stickers, in my windows. Not to mention my "imagine no religion" bumper sticker. I feared "retaliation" of some sort. But nary a phone call or letter has been received. Whew!

Thank you James. I've been "through" Nebraska a few times driving from midwest to NW. My 16 year old cat escaped from her carrier at a motel in Lincoln, never to be seen again. That was 10 years ago. I still miss her. My car broke down somewhere on a long stretch of road and I had to hitchhike to the nearest town. The vast stretches of fields reminded me of the ocean, only greener and quieter. Fortunately there was a nice person who was not a hitchhiker-obsessed serial killer, who picked me up. I remember most the spicy fragrance of a massive feedlot that wafted past me for many miles. Oh the memories.

For some reason I can't reply to my email on the site.
